There's a link to the github repo on the Refracta home page. I don't think there's anything in that repo that isn't already in /usr/local/bin.

Here's where it got weird. The terminal was defaulting to /home/user/ despite that user being removed.
In that order? What's your user ID number? Did you rename the old user's home, or did you delete it and make a new one?
I think I know what happened, and if you'd used the new installer and changed the user name that way, it would have taken care of it. There are a few places in the config files where it refers to /home/user that need to be changed. To find them:
- Code: Select all
grep -r "/home/user/" ~/.config
The other thing you might need to do - if you disabled sudo for your user in /etc/sudoers, you should edit ~/.gconf/apps/gksu/%gconf.xml to change sudo-mode from true to false.
Edit: Don't use the secret script. (i.e. Don't run change-username.sh). It needs some work.
One more thing, it would not allow me to "eject" the Refracta CD or umount it manually. This made installing guest additions a hassle I wasn't willing to bother with.
I always shut down the VM before trying to change the CD. I think that's because I tried it once and couldn't change it while it was running. Not sure about that, though. I considered installing the guest additions before building the iso. Does that seem like a good idea? It would sure make working with the VM easier for me.
I agree that the installation takes long. The only way I know to speed that up is to have less stuff installed. I was kinda surprised at the size of the iso when I got done.
Did wicd work ok on your laptop?
